Resignations: The Workplace Breakup

from LEAD 'EM ALL · host High Performance Leaders

When someone hands in their resignation, things can get weird pretty quickly. An employee who was once highly valued can suddenly become “not that good anyway”. A workplace someone once loved can suddenly be remembered as toxic.Why do we do this?In this episode, we look at what happens psychologically when a working relationship comes to an end, from both the employee and employer perspective. We look at why resignations often start months before the resignation letter, why people can feel the need to justify their decision, why we sometimes need a villain and why employers can fall into the same trap when good people leave.Most importantly, we explore a different way to look at departures. Sometimes nobody is wrong. Sometimes an employee and an organisation, simply aren't the right fit anymore. And that doesn't mean the relationship was a failure, it might just mean that a good chapter has come to an end.🎧Spotify – YouTube – Applehttps://www.highpl.com.au/podcast⁠High Performance LeadersWhether you're developing leaders, recognising your people or building a stronger team, we’ve got you covered.- 1:1 Leadership Coaching- Team Workshops & Custom Training- Operational Leadership Support - Leadership Recognition Stories👉 Contact Daniel: https://www.highpl.com.au/
